When you answered the ask asking about your art style (which is a post I keep looking back on bc what you have to say is very interesting) in one of your screenshots of you talking you mention something about how most if not all of your symbolism is self referent and I was wondering what you meant by that!
Hellloooo. Iām glad you found my ranting interesting. Here is some Dirk art Iām probably never going to finish for your troubles.
What I meant by that when talking about any symbolism in my art is that it doesnāt reference outside sources - e.g. where some art might use something like religious concepts, animals, real life events to represent ideas, I tend to use things more like colors, contrasting objects, composition. That sort of thing. So things that are inherently a part of the work itself rather than connections to the real world. If I ever do use symbolism otherwise, itās usually comic related even still. Although I have done pieces with religious symbolism before too, haha.
I donāt know how to describe it other than āself referentialā because Iām not really sure what else to classify that sort of symbolism as. Just⦠artistic maybe? Non literal? I couldnāt say. I think it all basically just goes along with the majority of my art nowadays being more figurative than literal. Sorry if this doesnāt explain it very well. Itās also funny to think that anyone is āLooking backā on any of my texts posts though, haha. To me I feel like I am just dumping my words on my poor followers. Surprising. Thank you for reading.
